The Perfect Time

I just got home from my daughters' recital and was in my room finally exhaling from all that's on my to do list. No, it's not Friday, it's actually Monday. I know what you're thinking... it's the beginning of the week why am I exhaling like it's over! Right???  Well anyone who has kids, knows that when they finish a big event, in my case the recital, it's like finishing a marathon it doesn't matter what day it is!

Anyway as I was exhaling from being exhausted it dawned on me that it's  Holy Week. Yesterday was the day Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. I immediately felt a shift in my spirit. A reference for this time period. This is the week Jesus decided to die for me. And you too. I think about all that Jesus went through this week, all that He had yet to endure on this Monday so long ago. It brings me to a mind of worship. Worship is all we have to give for a debt we can never repay. Sometimes thinking about Jesus on His last week on Earth makes me sad. I hate what He endured for man. For people that won't love Him back the way He loves us. But thrn, it makes me love Him even harder, press a little longer, and try even more in my walk. 

One of the main things that comes to my mind, is that I imagine there were probably a thousand more things that Jesus could have done before enduring the Cross. More people to heal, more to deliver and set free, another Mary and Martha to visit, another Zachheus in need of guidance. There was definitely more to do. But Jesus went to do the ultimate thing that would save, heal, deliver, and help all of us!  He paid the price for our sins! Jesus accomplished so much in His time on this Earth. He never put off a visit, He never denied His service to those that were sincere. He was a man with the ultimate to do list and that didn't stop Him from taking care of the Father's business.

My point is... don't put off til tomorrow what can be accomplished today. Jesus is the only man on this Earth that never ran out of time. Ever hour and minute of His life was appointed by God. But we in our humaness can and do lose time. We can get so busy with so much stuff that what needs to be done goes undone. Keep the main thing, the main thing. Jesus gave us priority, we should surely do the same. Take this week to meditate on the Word, talk to God. Tell Him thank you for His Son and the price that was paid on Calvary just for you.

God Bless U

***the beginning of Holy Week starts with Palm Sunday.  You can read the account starting at Matthew 21:1
